2012-05-26T14:33:00.000-07:00

So, it's game day. Get ready for catching ghosts/bunnies. \

Oh, and so far we have.... ONE entry for the contest. It's an awesome poem by cresent1. So so far, he's getting a member code.

Cya.
Misty :-)

New Item: Moustache!

2012-05-20T23:20:00.002-07:00

SCROLL DOWN FOR CONTEST INFO!!!!

What, another new item!!?? Wow.

Lol. Good job Pandanda! Goes really well with the detective theme.

From Misty :-)

(btw, I got no idea if I spelt the header right. Oh well.)

CONTEST!

2012-05-20T14:55:00.000-07:00

CONTEST TIME! Lets just hope I can find my code :D
Your challenge is to get creative. Here's a list.

Draw a pic!
Draw some clothes you would love to wear on Pandanda!
Write a song or Poem!
Make a movie!
Write a story!
Or anything else!

The best entry from each of these will go into the draw for a 1-month elite code!

IMPORTANT:

ANY WORK MUST BE YOUR OWN. NO SAVING OTHER PEOPLE'S PICS AND SENDING THEM TO US FOR EXAMPLE.
YOUR ENTRY MUST BE PANDANDA-BASED.
THERE IS NO BIAS FOR PICS, THEY MAY BE DRAWN ON A COMPUTER OR IN REAL LIFE.
NO BAD LANGUAGE ETC. IN STORIES, SONGS, AND POEMS.

So, good luck. Oh, and how do you send us stuff? Well, some of you don't have non-private emails so we will ask you to:

For pics and videos : Upload them to Tinypic, then post the link in a comment on this post.
For poems or stories: Short, just post them in a comment. Long, you can upload them to a fanficton site or something then comment us the url, whatever works. Unless you have a pandaspace account, if you do send it to me on there. (my user is Mistral)
Other: I don't know. If you can't work out how to get it to us, comment asking how.

Good luck everyone!
From Misty :-)

New Clothes!

2012-05-15T23:59:00.003-07:00

Sounds to good to be true, right? Well it is. It's just two new items.

If you don't really like dressing up as a detective, try this outfit:

It also looks nice with a purple or brown flower and scarf.

Also, Henry says this.

Cool right? Who doesn't love elite only parties!!! Well, non members I guess. But we can help with that... I'm going to announce an Elite Contest sometime this week! So keep checking back!

From Misty :-)

Meet The Mods!

2012-05-12T14:27:00.000-07:00

Meet the Mods - Jamesey

Hey friends!

Have you gotten Zing's prize this week? You just might need it for a fun contest coming up next week. Keep reading my blog for more information!

We are long overdue for a Question and Answer session with one of the awesome Pandanda Moderators. Let's find out about more about Mod Jamesey!

Do you have any dragons?

I have one dragon and his name is Donnerwetter. That is German for thunderstorm. I think they are like anything, they need love and care, which I try to give him.

What is your treehouse like?

My treehouse is in need of major construction. I need to hire an interior decorator to help it out. It has planet walls and a few Christmas decorations which I have not cleaned up yet. (Maybe you could hire me? :P Misty)

What is your favorite outfit?

That is a hard one. I really like fall colors. I did like the football clothes though, but I wish we had all the team colors.

What is your favorite color?

Blue - that is why I am a blue panda, of course.

Which mini game is your favorite.

Dragon's Revenge!!!!

Would you rather chase Bunnies or hunt Ghosts? Why?

I love to hunt ghosts. I enjoy darting away from the blue ghosts before they freeze me, and nailing the others to get points.

What was your favorite festival? Why?

I would have to say the Friendship Festival. I enjoyed collecting the friendship bracelets as they popped up!

What is your favorite quest?

That one is a hard question. I am trying to do them all, but I start a couple and I forget to finish them. Then I have to remember which was the last one I had started and then I finish it.

What is your favorite room in Pandanda?

Misty Hill. I enjoy the sound of thunder and the lightening is cool. I keep waiting for the rain!

What is the best thing about being a Moderator?

It is great to be with so many pandas and talking about their interests.

What is the hardest thing about being a Moderator?

Trying to answer all of the questions and hoping that I don't miss anyone's question. Try to be patient with me, and wait your turn for an answer.

What do you like to do when you are not moderating?

I like to listen to music and read.

What makes you smile in Pandanda?

I enjoy it when pandas help other pandas out without anyone telling them to!

Is there anything else you would like to say to Pandanda land?

Treat each other nice.....follow the rules......have a great time playing....help others!

Blue Pandas are cool!!!!
Jamesey

Thanks, Jamesey! Everyone, make sure to say Hi to Jamesey next time you see him! And don't forget to visit Zing Ballyhoo to exchange your Golden Tickets for his prize before the end of the day on Sunday. He will have a brand new prize on Monday morning!

Party on, Pandas!
Henry

That's so cool. Also, it sounds like there is a contest coming up soon! Yay!

Also, I'm going to help Jamesey here. PLEASE STOP ASKING THE MODS QUESTIONS IF YOU DON'T NEED TO! I mean, imagine if 20 pandas were asking you questions at once. Seriously! Mods can't add, you can't be a mod until you are 18 and then you have to work for them, and mods don't know anything we don't know about future locations etc!

Anyway. Cya.
From Misty :-)

I'm back!

2012-05-11T17:59:00.001-07:00

Ok I should be back blogging now. My laptop broke for a while, but it's fixed now. Oh, and Blu is away on holiday.

From Misty :-)

It's Cinco De Mayo!

2012-05-05T12:45:00.002-07:00

Along with that there is a free prize, along with a new scarf. And guess what, I guessed right about one of the hats.Now isn't that awesome. Happy Cinco De Mayo pandas!

From Misty :-)

Zing Prize

2012-04-30T13:44:00.001-07:00

Sorry I'm late posting this, blogger keeps crashing on me. reason 43 to hate this new blogger thing.
Anyway, here is the prize.

(If you are wondering how I took the pic, I zoomed right in (by pressing ctrl and +) then I took the pic.)
And if you can't see the pic above, the prize is a Cinco De Mayo top! Finally Pandanda has made an AWESOME prize.

I just hope they have the mexican hat again this year.

And if so, what colour would it be?? Purple? Maybe. Remember, this is JUST AN EDIT AND PROBABLY NOT AN ITEM

From Misty :-)

Free Elite Day!!!!

2012-04-28T00:07:00.002-07:00

Yay, its free elite.

How exciting! EVERYONE is a Elite Member for one whole day!

10 cents wasted for real members. :-/
Oh well, have fun!
From Misty :-)

Henrys Blog Post ~ Free Elite Day Tomorrow!

2012-04-27T13:31:00.000-07:00

I still don't know why I put these on this blog, but oh well. Here is the latest Henry's Blog post.

Free Elite Member Day is Tomorrow!

The excitement is building in Pandanda for the second Free Elite Member Day of 2012! The Moderators are reporting that they are seeing lots of pandas fishing, and collecting fruits and veggies, gems, and recyclables to sell to the vendors around Pandanda for coins.

Free Elite Member Day means that everyone who logs into Pandanda between 12:01am PST and 11:59pm PST this Saturday, May 28th will get to experience what it is like to be an Elite Member of Pandanda for one whole day! **

You can buy clothes for your panda, furniture for your treehouse, and even open your tree to invite friends over. Maybe you've been wanting a little dragon pet to keep you company in your tree. Tomorrow is your chance! I hope everyone has a super time!

Henry
**Non-Elite pandas will get to keep all the Elite items purchased Saturday but will not be able to use them after Saturday without an Elite Membership )except on future Free Elite Member Days). Questy’s Horse Companions are Elite items. Dragon eggs will remain in your tree house, and will hatch later in the week.

Oooo, I cant wait. I must get some coins on my other pandas.

From Misty :-)

Free Elite Day tips

2012-04-26T13:43:00.002-07:00

Free Elite Day is coming up, so that means coin-spending time! I am going to share with you some top tips for non members for Free Elite Day. Here goes.

Save your coins. Pretty obvious.
Don't go buying a whole lot of dragons. Non members can't walk their dragons. Buy one or two, but that's enough. They cost a LOT of coins in the long run... (I have ten dragons, and it costs me 380 coins to feed them all.
Buy amazing outfits. Take a look at our fashion page for ideas.
Don't sell ANYTHING. Seriously. This means before and after Free Elite Day. If you are running out of coins, Don't sell anything. Just go and fish some more. After Free Elite Day, keep your member clothes. Next Free Elite Day you will have rare clothes, and be the envy of all your friends...
Change your player card to a member one. after Free Elite Day, you will be able to keep it.

Of course, you don't HAVE to follow these tips. It's just friendly advice.
From Misty :-)

Wackiness and Earth Day

Hi friends!

Thanks for sending in such awesome and funny Wacky Outfit Day pictures! You can see all of the wacky pictures in the April 2012 Wacky Outfit Day Album. Just click that link to view the album, and get ready to see some outrageous pandas!

I challenged you to come up with some wacky things to say during Wacky Outfit Day, and you didn't let me down! Here are some of my favorites!

Don't forget, this Sunday is Earth Day! You can do your part to help keep Pandanda clean and beautiful by picking up any trash you see on the streets of Pandanda. Steve McClean on East Market Street will always buy recyclable cans and bottles from you, and on Earth Day he will be giving DOUBLE the coins! So start picking up trash now, but wait until Sunday to sell it to Steve. It's a great way to earn some coins that you can use on Saturday, April 28th - Free Elite Member Day!

Posted by Henry

Free elite day coming soon, Earth Day coming soon... everyone's calendars are going to be filled to the brim! Unfortunately I'm going overseas for a few weeks in May, so I won't be able to come online. Sorry! I'll be back in June, though, so it won't be too bad.

Easter Egg Hunt almost over and Wacky Wednesday!

2012-04-16T14:11:00.001-07:00

Egg Hunt Almost Over!

Happy Monday, Panda Pals!

The Easter Egg Hunt ends today, so you still have a chance to collect eggs! Make sure to trade them to the Easter Bunny at West Market Street as soon as you can, because once he hops out of Pandanda, he will take all of the eggs and his prizes with him. Don't miss out!

Let's keep the fun going this week with a wonderful Wacky Wednesday! Get dressed in your craziest, silliest, most miss-matched outfit! I challenge you to come up with something really wacky to say. Check out this picture from KiddTokYo during Wacky Wednesday in January:

On Wacky Wednesday, take a picture of you and your friends dressed in wacky outfits and saying something wacky, then send the picture to me at screenshots@pandanda.com, with WACKY in the subject line. I will choose the wackiest, funniest pictures to put in my Blog!

Party on, Pandas!
Henry

Awesome, I love Wacky Wednesdays.
Keep collecting those eggs :D
From Misty :-)

Stuff :-)

2012-04-15T18:55:00.001-07:00

It's been Friday the 13, I hope it was a good day for everyone...
I'm going to ask Blu if we can start our new membership contest... Maybe not a random draw this time!
I will add more later...
From Misty :-)

Easter :D

2012-04-08T13:09:00.002-07:00

Hoppy Easter!

Today may be Easter, but that doesn't mean the Easter Egg Hunt is over! You still have over a week to collect the Easter Bunny's hidden eggs, then trade them to him for awesome prizes!

I think one of EB's coolest prizes is the Easter Egg Chair for your treehouse. If you agree, and want even more of them, make sure to check out the House and Tree Catalog. You can get 6 different colors of Easter Egg Chairs for 50 Panda Gold each!

I've added a few more events to the calendar for April and May. Zing Ballyhoo will be returning on April 30th, Cinco de Mayo is May 5th, and another fun Pandanda Game Day will be on Saturday, May 26th. And there will be even more fun to come! Just keep reading my Blog - it's the best place to get updates about what's going on in Pandanda!

Don't eat too many chocolate bunnies!
Henry

Cool. It's Easter Monday here, and I didn't get to eat any chocolate eggs yesterday lol... (Even though I was given a lot!!) But have a happy Easter and keep collecting those eggs!
From Misty :-)

New dress :D:D:D

2012-04-02T23:23:00.004-07:00

FINALLY Pandanda has added something NEW! Hip hip hooray!Okay, it makes my panda look VERY chubby, but its a nice shape and really cool. And new.
Good job Pandanda.
From Misty :-)

New Clothes! Almost Yay!

2012-03-31T22:43:00.004-07:00

Seriously pandas, you have to see it. Again, too many pages to take a pic, but it's really cool! The only problem is is that there isn't a single NEW item in there. All old items with new colours. Maybe the basketball jersey. Oh well. It's so cool!
From Misty :-)

And now it's here!

2012-03-29T23:39:00.003-07:00

And slightly early too. Here are the prizes.
I LOVE the chair and birdhouse! But I am VERY upset they brought back my shoes :-( I guess it's easier though.

Easter Egg Hunt!

2012-03-28T18:45:00.000-07:00

Annual Pandanda Easter Egg Hunt Starts Friday!

Hey there, Panda Pals!

Each year, spring brings warmer weather, fresh green grass, and beautiful flowers. And in Pandanda, spring also brings the Easter Bunny! Yes, that giant pink Bunny will be back in Pandandaland this Friday, hiding brightly colored eggs all over the place (except in treehouses).

Then the fun really begins! Collect as many eggs in your basket as you can, then visit E.Bunny in West Market Street to trade them for his springtime prizes! I wonder what surprises he will have for us this year? I guess we will all find out on Friday!

I'm hopping with excitement!
Henry

Awesome! This will be my 3rd easter egg hunt...
From Misty :-)

I'm back!

2012-03-24T22:30:00.001-07:00

Hi everyone!

I had to go somewhere for a while but I'm back again! I saw the contest results and, while I'm still confused that a computer design wasn't even a runner-up, I think that the winner is very deserving. Sadly I didn't get to compete in the contest as I was away.

I've actually only just got off the plane so I might go and do something more relaxing, like catching a shark at Coconut Beach. Well... maybe not the shark part!

-Blu!

Contest Winners!

2012-03-21T22:20:00.003-07:00

Sorry about not posting, our Henry's blog person has left. Sigh. But anyway, here are the contest winners!

Spring Theme Player Card Contest WINNERS!

The judges have finished their judging for the Spring Theme Player Card Contest, and once again, you made it a very hard job for us! We really enjoyed looking at all of the cute, creative, and interesting designs submitted. So, in addition to choosing one Grand Prize Winner, we also chose five Honorable Mentions!

The GRAND PRIZE WINNER of the 2012 Spring Theme Player Card Drawing Contest is:

pandaNUNU!

Congratulations to pandaNUNU! She will have her design turned into an actual player card background with her name on it by our graphic artists, to be available in Pandanda during the Easter Egg Hunt that begins on March 30th. She will also receive:

a 6-month Elite Membership Gift Certificate
5000 Panda Power
200 Panda Gold

And here are the five Honorable Mention designs:

From left to right, the Honorable Mention artists are orangeclie, HI8642, carina1998, Drusilla, and Buster55555. Each of those players will receive a 1-month Elite Membership Gift Certificate. Congratulations!

Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry to the contest. All of us here at Pandanda appreciate the time, effort, and creativity you put into your drawing. Since there were so many great entries, you can look for even more designs to appear for sale in future catalogs!

I am planning another contest for April, one that won't require any artistic ability! Watch my blog for more information in April!

Party on, Pandas!
Henry

I'm slightly disappointed that he didn't pick any computer drawn designs. For example, I don't have a scanner or my own camera, and my parent's aren't going to help. Oh well, good job to all the winners! Amazing backgrounds.
From Misty :-)

Connection Problems?

2012-03-16T12:15:00.001-07:00

Today, there has been a few connection problems. Me and a few other elites have been stuck at the "connection successful" loading page thing when we try to log onto willow. I can go on other servers and go on other pandas onto willow, but not my elite panda. Has anyone else been having this problem?
From Misty :-)

New Location Ideas :-O

2012-03-14T22:25:00.004-07:00

I was looking through RanRan's blog (It's really cool! ranranpandandablog.blogspot.com) and I found a picture of Henry saying "New locations and ingame activities coming in a big new section hopefully by sum" (the sum ment summer rofl.) Big section? Well, take a look at the map.
So, will this big section be one of the grey parts of the map? We will see. I thought at first it would be the coconut islands, but a lot of pandas asking Henry have had him say there is nothing planed for them. Is the mystery area of the map going to be a new location? Idk. I can't wait for summer.

From Misty :-)
P.S. This is NOT an announcement of something that is 100% real. I am NOT giving away anything. This is just a brainwave. I am probably all wrong. And, I will say it one more time. I AM NOT A MODERATOR OR WORKING FOR PANDANDA! ... Lol. From Misty :-/

Zing Prize!

2012-03-13T21:47:00.001-07:00

It's a rainbow top!
Awesome.
It looks really cool! PD has FINALLY made an awesome looking zing prize :D
From Misty :-)
